Point Strategy

Most of the recent submissions to the R/T Board seem to be from owners who were negatively impacted from the closures ( & not from the "regular" renters). A lot of those have not posted here enough to qualify for the waiver and go on to buy a rental plan do they can try to recover something from their points before they expire. I'm glad they are choosing to start posting more on the DVC forums.

Thanks for clearing that up Carol.I just see a lot of people asking about strategies of buying cheap to rent, etc. I know I bought the banner once and never rented from it.

I only rented this year to help offset the cost of a cruise in October. I used a broker and honestly, wish I had not.

But, it made me realize that in the future, if I do need or want to, I will look to family and friends first...or transfer points instead.

IMO, for the occasional time when one might need to rent, it might be fine but for a strategy, especially now with some of what happened and as mentioned, the potential discounts we may see from Disney, rental amounts will need to come down because once you add insurance, it may not be the savings is once was.
